Speed

8 to fix59
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.8 s

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 365 KiB

    About 365 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 311 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (311 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 MB

    2 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 62). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Lucky Orange and others), adding 835 KiB and 521 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    480 ms · 97 KiB

    About 97 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 260 ms

    260 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 310 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 183 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 741 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 34 ms

    34 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 181 ms

    181 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 181 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 74 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 74 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (9), scripts 963 KiB (36) and stylesheets 137 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.79 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 95.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 8995
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 76 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 76 pages on tradevela.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 123 characters

    Your meta description is 123 characters: “Exegy is a provider of unified solutions across the capital markets ecosystem. Learn more about our award-winning produ…”.

  • Title: 42 characters

AI search readiness

4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (706 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.exegy.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 21 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://www.exegy.com/solutions/european-markets, https://www.exegy.com/solutions/asia-pacific, https://www.exegy.com/products/exegy-nexus and https://www.exegy.com/products/exegy-ticker-plant took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Content and conversion

2 to fix60
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 582 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 582 words of visible text.

    4
